On Dumpster Diving Response Essay

Response Essay Clever Title The essay “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner charmingly and eloquently describes a period in the author`s life when he is homeless. While Eighner illustrates the strategies of dumpster diving, he also conveys that there are codes of ethics and social rules, even in the lowest social classes. The author briefly mentions other scavengers and companions, but it is evident they have consideration for others. Eighner explains, “But it is common practice to set aside surplus items…”(261) and “A true scavenger hates to see good stuff go to waste, and what he cannot use he leaves in good condition in plain sight” (261). The author portrays that he has regard for people outside of the scavenging class. Eighner exemplifies his own consciousness of others when he writes “I have never placed a bogus order to increase the supply of pizzas…” as he refers to scavenging a dumpster owned by a pizza restaurant (Eighner 256). In conclusion, the ethics and social rules of both an individual and a group of scavengers are made apparent by the author, if only mentioned in a handful of sentences. Works Cited Eighner, Lars.

I am from poem

Intro

Hello! My name is Courtney Gaunt. I am 23 years old and I live here in Springfield. I was supposed to be getting married in December, but now I am not. Oddly enough we decided we were just best friends masquerading as Lovers, so we called it off. I do not have any children that I am aware of, and I don`t think I will acquire any in the future. So, I`m pretty much rocking the single life. I work full time, and I obviously attend OTC where I am attempting to get an associates of science in biology. After i graduate from OTC I plan on continuing school, and one day getting my phd. I would love to get a degree in experimental psychology, or neurobiology. I love to study the physiology of the brain, and cognitive abilities. In my spare time I like to be around friends. I absolutely love to laugh, and I`m rarely serious about anything. Another "passion" of mine is scifi. I LOVE scifi; Doctor Who, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica are some of my favorites. I also enjoy comics/graphic novels a lot. I `m more of a Marvel than a DC though. If you see me around campus, or anywhere really, I will probably be wearing a dress, or look dressed up. It`s the girliest thing I do, but I can`t help it, I love dresses. Its kinda weird but, whatever. Anyways, I suppose that`s about it.

Oh god, I have no idea what im going to say. I dont type well at all so this will probably make me look retarded. o well. So the only think i can think of to do is go on about something I enjoy. JOSS WHETON!!! hes awesome. he is an amazing writer and director. Firefly is my favorite show ever, he wrote the series and I believe he directed most of thee episodes as well. Our mrs. renolds is my favorite episode. its hilarious and captures everything good aboutr each character. He also wrote Buffy, which might have been his most  popular show. Its pretty cheesy now but it rocked in the 90`s. Someone once made a comment thaT BUFFY WAS ONLY A GOOD SHOW BECAUSE THE DIALOUGE WAS SO great. In response Joss had written an enitre episode where for some reason NO one could speak, so there were no words (obviously) and it was one of his best episodes for that show. Im also a fan of DOllhouse which is another show Joss wrote. One of my favorite things ever so far though is the Avengers movie. I cried during the previews I was so excited. I love marvel comics, especially Ironman, and I have been a huge fan ofJOss for a long time so when I found out he was directing the movie I was Psyced! He did amazing, He is known for writing great dialouge, and big ountourages so ...ya
